From February to April, Cambodia is gradually heated, and the temperature in April may be above 40 ℃. During May and June, temperatures are still high. The average January temperature is 26.1 ℃ and in April about 28.9 ℃. The lowest monthly average temperature is around 21 ℃, and the highest monthly average is about 35 ℃.
